Loading... Please wait...This rack updates the classic brake bar descender. The design and configuration of the bars makes it easy to set up and insert the rope. Compact and lightweight, the device allows the user to adjust the amount of friction during the descent to adapt to changing conditions (rope weight, terrain, etc.).
Weight: 470 g
Materials:
- stainless steel frame

The Petzl Rack is an easy to use and easy to lock off straight-line descender. It gives great flexibility with use and braking friction, and handles multiple size ropes just as easily on single and double ropes.
I have used mine with a crab in the top loop to add even more friction when performing a drop-down rescue.
Hard-wearing, and long lasting
